Best Answer

The primer for an art canvas is known as Gesso. First the canvas needs to be stretched over a frame and secured. The Gesso, which is water based, can be applied in one coat and a little thin if the desire is to keep the canvas texture. A thicker application or more than one coat will smooth the surface and reveal less of the canvas texture.

How do you paint on PVC canvas?

In order to paint on PVC canvas you must prep the canvas by gently sanding some of the pvc coating off with a medium grit sandpaper. This will allow the paint to adhere to the PVC. Wipe the canvas clean and allow to dry before priming it. Once the primer is dry you can use acrylic paints to create your master piece.

Where can you get or how can you make rimfire priming?

Rimfire priming compound is not available to the general public for a very good reason- and that is the same reason I will NOT describe how to make it. Priming compounds are extremely pressure sensitive explosives, SO sensitive that they cannot be handled when they are dry. A tiny amount of the priming compound, in the form of a wet paste, is inserted into the empty cartridge case, which is spun, forcing the priming material into the fold of the cartridge case head. The material is dried, and once dry, cannot be handled without a strong likelihood that it will detonate. Priming compound work is perhaps the most dangerous aspect of an ammunition plant. Even with very specific controls, there have been accidents involving priming compound that have killed workers.
